According to the forecast of the Olive Oil Council, the consumption of olive oil worldwide will be 3.064.500 Tonnes, which means 10% more than last year. The price reduction of this campaign could explain this fact.
On the other hand, if we compare this forecast with the global consumption just 20 years ago, it got to 2.606 million tons in 2001/02, which means the global consumption was increasing almost 17,5% during the last two decades.
